Silence Is Precious

The silence screams the loudest The quiet once again returns with thunder The short peace stands the tallest The calm is a vicious hunter Voiceless against a war of words Suffocating with a tank of oxygen Alone in a crowded world And the kindness you knew threatens Everything but nothing stays the same The confusion drives you insane Nothing but everything will always change Your mind is an obstacle course with a rocky terrain Stop caring about what the opposites are Don’t worry about what could go wrong Pay no attention to those scars There’s a promise that they won’t last long So hold on to the silence that brings you to a wonderland The quiet that brings serenity And the peace that gives you soft commands And the calm moments that pass too easily
